So i did a complete clean of my laptop lenovo z510, and i wanted to install win10. My bios settup is legacy first, the sata is on AHCI, and when im trying to boot from USB (with SATA on AHCI) there is 0mb avalible on my disk at the "where do you want to install windows?" tab, and when the SATA is on IDE (compatible) there are no drivers found (I need to find the drivers or install them via. another usb) what am i doing wrong?

There are no initial drivers needs for the z510 to install windows. After windows is instlled then there are several but none are needed during. I suspect your drive in the z510. Your disk may have corrupt firmware or a hardware issue. I've seen non-spinning platters cause the same issue. Do you have an internal HDD or SSD in yours?

Set it back to AHCi, then on the "Where do you want to install.." screen click the Drive Options link on the lower right.
If your drives partitions are listed then you you can delete all and then, when done, select the unallocated space and click next.

I do suggest backing up/imaging the drive in case you want to revert back to the factory OS in the future. It resides on the partition that's about 10gb in size and usually marked as Restore or Recovery
